Our Take

Jon Boden has always been known for pushing the boundaries of traditional folk music, and his latest album "Last Mile Home" is no exception. With its fusion of intricate instrumentation, heartfelt lyrics, and Boden's signature storytelling vocals, this album is a masterclass in modern folk music.

From the opening track "The Road to Last Mile Home," Boden grabs the listener's attention and doesn't let go. The haunting violin melodies combined with the driving rhythm section create a sense of urgency that carries throughout the entire album. Boden's lyrics, which touch on themes of love, loss, and longing, resonate deeply with listeners and add a layer of depth to the already complex musical arrangements.

Standout tracks like "Ghost of You" and "Last Mile Home" showcase Boden's ability to craft emotionally charged ballads that tug at the heartstrings. The raw honesty in his delivery, paired with the lush production, creates a sonic landscape that is both captivating and immersive.

Overall, "Last Mile Home" is a triumph for Jon Boden, solidifying his status as a modern folk legend. With its blend of traditional folk influences and modern sensibilities, this album is a must-listen for fans of the genre and beyond. So grab your favourite cuppa, sit back, and let Jon Boden take you on a journey through the last mile home.
